Watermelon

Watermelon is a great source of the amino acid citrulline.Citruline on the other hand gets converted to arginine to produce Nitric Oxide (NO), which opens blood vessels and increases blood flow to muscle cells,delivering more nutrients to them.

Broccoli

Broccoli is known to reduce the effect of estrogens in the body.This diminishes estrogen’s effects on fat gain and water retention, and probably strengthens testosterone’s anabolic effects.

Coffee
